Khoi Dan Chu

The Democratic Bloc, also known as the Khoi Dan Chu (KDC), was a short-lived liberal political alliance in South Vietnam which was active from 1957 to 1958. It was formed by Pham Quang Dan and Hoang Co Thuy in Saigon with the support of Catholic National Assembly member Nguyen Van Can and several party and religious factions. In 1958, Dan withdrew after conflict with other leaders, and it survived for a time with weakened membership before becoming defunct.
